### Measurement Command Conditions

Measurement commands for PC-DMIS must contain the positioning points and measured points. Tutor programs should meet the followings conditions:

1. The Measurement Command has an associated PATH. The most frequent case is that the translator reads the Path and turns its sequence into a MOVE/POINT command for the positioning and HIT/BASIC command for the Measurements. HIT.BASIC example:

HIT/BASIC,9.6603,20.1643,-2.0198,0,-0.9659258,0.258819,9.6603,20.1643,-2.0198,USE THEO = NO.

2. The Measurement Command does not have an associated PATH. In this case the translator starts a Look Ahead procedure to seek the commands for positioning (move) and of measurement (movetf). See the ”Look Ahead Procedure” section. At the end of the search the followings conditions can happen:

- All positioning and measured points have been found. In this case the command is translated as suitable in the point 1.

- Not all of the positioning and measured points have been found. In this case the Measurement command is translated using the relearn hit command and the operator is notified:
  HIT/BASIC, RELEARN
  The HIT/BASIC, RELEARN command must be inserted as many times as the number of hits specified in the measurement command.
